Glad your boy is feeling better today. We are all eager to hear about his x-ray. It would be wonderful if the stone actually dissolved! I'm really hoping for this miracle.

Me too! I don't think Actigal works for all pigs. I hope yours is the exception.

His urine is light pink to orange right now, rather than the red bloody urine he has produced frequently over the past few weeks.

I keep praying that this works.

Sending positive vibes to Henry. I really hope you continue to see an improvement in him snd that the Actigall breaks this stone up.

If it does (hope it does hope it does hope it does), can you get the composition of some of the sludge, or just a urinalysis, on Friday?

It would be interesting to see if some types of stones respond to Actigall where others don't.

I do so hope this works. Do see if you can learn how to do subcues. Sometimes, they're a real lifesaver.

Sending more good thoughts for Henry.

Henry just did something really weird.

He refused a Critter Berry.

But I saw him pee, and he pounced on the fresh hay pile.

I wonder what that means?

I think the medicines are playing havoc with his sense of taste, frankly.

That, no. 1, definitely. No. 2, how old are the Critter Berries? I think they lose their fresh aroma even while they're still in date and still good.

Our pigs don't give Critter Berries time to go bad. With four pigs getting two a day, they go fast.

He wolfed down everything else we gave him today.

Tomorrow is the big day - he gets his x-ray at 11 to see if the actigall is making any difference.
